Bug

Just found ONE way to find if the server is an physical or virtual.. (may not always be the right one though)
If u find vm related files under /usr/bin..then its an virtual..else its not..
Code:
cd /usr/bin
ls -ltr vm*
-r-xr-xr-x  71 root     bin         5816 Jan  8  2007 vmware-user
-r-xr-xr-x  71 root     bin         5816 Jan  8  2007 vmware-toolbox
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     bin        36224 May 19  2008 vmstat
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     root      138279 Mar 26 06:56 vmware-uninstall-tools.pl
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     root      336031 Mar 26 06:56 vmware-config-tools.pl

NAME
vmxnet - vmware kernel module SYNOPSIS
modprobe vmxnet DESCRIPTION
This is a Linux kernel device driver module that drives VMware's fast networking device. As it is backed by real (virtual) hardware, it should be automatically loaded by hotplug or udev as needed. For best performance, it is recommended to enable TSO on all interfaces driven by vmxnet using ethtool. The shell code to do this might look like this: if which ethtool >/dev/null 2>&1; then for ethif in `ifconfig -a | grep ^eth | cut -d' ' -f1`; do ethtool -K $ethif tso on >/dev/null 2>&1 done fi The VMware backend may present the fast networking device as an AMD vlance device instead of the actual vmxnet device.
